The Well of The Dead
The Well of The Dead submitted by LenGilbert : Well of the Dead taken at Culloden August, 2015. The well is to the left of the stone commemorating the fall of Alexander MacGillivray. A few weeks after the battle, MacGillivray's body was re-interred at the Petty churchyard. A plaque was added there in 1997 to commemorate him. (Vote or comment on this photo)
